The aims of this research were to find out the extent to which videocast improves listening comprehension of the fourth semester students of Makassar Islamic University and the students’ perceptions toward the utilization of videocast in teaching and learning activities. This research was carried out in the fourth semester students of English Department of Makassar Islamic University. The method used was quasi-experimental design with pre-test, eight meetings of treatment, and post-test.
